The candidates will spend
time volunteering, getting to know the DJJD committee, become more proficient
at public speaking and participating in many fun events while gaining new
friends. If chosen, the DJJD Ambassadors
will spend the next year visiting other
communities throughout the state and meet hundreds of people through parades,
coronations and other special events gaining valuable friendships, experience
and making lifelong memories.
According to Ambassador
Scholarship Program Chair Julie Eddy, “This is NOT a beauty pageant or a
popularity contest. Our program revolves
around volunteerism and developing leaders that will serve as positive role
models and be ambassadors for the Defeat of Jesse James Days Celebration and
Northfield.”
